Can you try a different one? I’m on Ritalin and I don’t think there are any shortages for that one. They make caffeine pills also if you can’t do coffee but caffeine personally doesn’t really help me

Work with your doctor to get another medication. I experienced this months ago and Adderall still hasn't come back in stock.

Both my wife and I are on Concerta and works great for us, have never encountered any issues with shortages

Thanks guys. I just emailed my dr about it!

I'm glad you're working on an alternative OP.

Anyone else reading who might be in the situation, do yourself a favor by reaching out to your psych/doctor and asking to have a plan for an alternative. I actually have not yet been affected by the shortage, but already having a plan for what med I would get if there's issues getting my Adderall has been quite reassuring.

Hey! I’m new here and would like some input. I’ve been working in a new position for almost 5 months. In that time I’ve witnessed some unethical and lots of unprofessional behavior.

There are so many major issues in this company that I don’t know if I want to subject my mental health to this degree of toxicity. I just don’t know how to move forward from here.

PSA for anyone here who is struggling with trauma, PTSD, depression, or any other mental health concern: Seek professional help today. Do not feel ashamed, and do not listen to your friends, family, community members who may tell you to just rely on duas and to stop acting crazy.

Duas alone and the feedback you get from others will NOT help you until you take the initiative to help yourself. Allah says this Himself in Surah al Rad (11).
